Degradation of the English Language
February 26, 2008 |
Post to the Host:
I was dismayed to hear the student in your Dusty & Lefty skit ask, "Where's your hats?". Where were the English majors on your staff when this script was written? Need I point out to you that "where's" is a contraction of "where is", and that the proper form of be for this sentence would have been "are", given that "hats" is plural? Please do not contribute to the further degradation of the English language.
You is right about that, for sure, and you knows it. Dang. We been nabbed again.
